"What do I owe the pleasure to see you girls here?" Theo asked with a teasing smile.
"We just followed the amazing smell of the food that you're cooking." Sam promptly replied.
The others laughed and greeted Theo with a smile.
"Did you guys come together?" He asked.
"Oh no, I came with June and Sayuri and we met Kumiko and Shoko when we arrived here." Sam replied.
"What a coincidence." Theo said in surprise.
"How can I help you, Theo?" Kumiko asked suddenly when she noticed that Theo was already cooking for the party later.
"Yes, I want to help as well!" Shoko chimed in.
The two of them were excellent cooks, and they were avid to help him cook.
"All the help is welcomed." Theo smiled, "Shoko, can you help me clean the fish and seafood? Kumiko, can you start the preparations of the sauces?"
"Yes, chef!" The two of them replied before putting on an apron.
"What's the menu for tonight?" Kumiko asked as she washed her hands.
"It's on the counter." Theo replied.
The girls became interested when they heard, so they all crowded around the piece of paper where Theo wrote all the dishes that he would cook for the party later.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe girls were taken by surprise when they read the menu, as there was a mixture of dishes of all kinds of cultures. There were even some dishes that they couldn't recognize.
Only Kumiko and Shoko, who had studied gastronomy at a cooking college, recognized that some of these dishes had origins from countries placed in the Vytral Continent.
As was said before, the Vytral Continent was similar to Europe. And countries like Spain, France, and Italy had some similarities with countries from the Vytral Continent. That's why Kumiko and Shoko noticed some similarities with dishes from the Vytral Continent.
"Wow! Are you guys going to be able to cook everything before the party?" June asked as she lifted her eyebrow in doubt.
June was the manager of a restaurant, so he had a notion of how much a dish would take to get ready. And with the extensive menu that Theo chose, it would be a close call to finish everything before the party.
"Of course, I do not doubt we can do it." Theo replied with a nonchalant voice.
"Theo, I'll start by preparing the sauces I know. The others I don't know, you can explain to me as I cook." Kumiko said as she gave a last look at the menu.
"Don't worry about it. I'll explain step by step." Theo replied.
Kumiko nodded and started working without much delay.
Just like that, Shoko's small figure could be seen cleaning the seafood with perfect mastery. And Kumiko started preparing the sauces.
"Did you guys rest well?" Theo asked as the three of them cooked.
"I slept like a baby." Sayuri exclaimed with satisfaction.
"I needed that nap." June nodded.
"You girls didn't forget to pack your bags because of this nap, right?" Theo asked suspiciously.
"Of course not! That's why we arrived late here, we were packing our things." Sam replied.
"Yeah, we left everything ready." Sayuri added.
"The question is if you already rented the bus to take us to the airport tomorrow." June asked.
"I did. Tomorrow morning they will arrive here at the front of the property." Theo replied with a chuckle.
Actually, he didn't do it, he asked Sylph to do it. And without any surprises, she was able to get the best service.
It was then that they heard the sound of someone walking into the room, they turned their heads and saw Aurora entering the room.
"Hey, girls!" Aurora smiled at them.
Theo had asked Sylph to tell Aurora that the girls had arrived he let them in, so he was not surprised that she was up.
"Oh, your face shows that you just woke up, Aurora-chan!" Sayuri giggled.
"Guilty as charged." Aurora replied with a smile before seating next to Sam and June.
"Where are the others?" Aurora asked when she realized that only half of their friends arrived.
"Lauren and Max missed the time and will only arrive in 30 minutes." Kumiko replied, "I'm not surprised as they live alone together, and both of them like to sleep too much. They only woke up when I called them." Kumiko shook her head.
"Gwen and Kin texted me saying that they were coming 10 minutes ago. So, they must be arriving in a bit." June replied.
They all nodded in understanding before Sam said, "We should start decorating and arranging the place for the party."
June nodded as she said, "We should indeed. I brought the decoration we used at the party yesterday."
"I bought tons of decorations items as well." Sayuri added.
"I did the same. But the question is where the party is going to happen." Sam commented.
As she said that, all of them turned their heads at Theo, who had his fixed on checking the pot in front of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What?" Theo asked when he noticed that they were looking intently at him.
"Where do you want us to put the decorations for the party?" Sam asked.
Theo had to think for a while before replying, "It depends on the weather."
Aurora nodded as she added, "Theo is right. We have the penthouse floor which would be perfect as we would have a view of the city and the forest. But there is no coverage, and if it snows in the mid of the party, everything will be ruined. We also have a backyard, but the difference is that there are glass doors to protect us from the cold and the snow. Lastly, we also can throw the party in the living room and dining room. As we would certain to be protected by the snow." Aurora had a thoughtful look as she exposed her arguments.
The others also became pensive when they heard that.
"What's the weather forecast for tonight?" June asked.
"Let me see." Sam replied as she picked up her phone from her pocket.
"It says here that there is a 50% chance of snowing tonight here in Elffire City." Sam commented after checking the weather forecast app.
"So, that's a no for throwing the party on the penthouse floor." Sayuri commented.
"It seems so, otherwise, there's a good chance that will be drowned in snow midway through the party." June shook her head helplessly.
They discussed which option was better when suddenly Sylph warned that Gwen and Kin were at the gate.
Theo let them in as he listened to the girls discussing which option was better, the house or the backyard.
"Let's do it in the house. We can use that gorgeous fireplace in the living room." Sam commented.
The fireplace she was talking about was the one that had the format of a tree that went from the floor to the ceiling.
"I'm down with it." June agreed.
"Me too." Aurora smiled.
"It seems we have the place to start working with." Sayuri commented with a smile.
It was at that moment that Gwen and Kin entered the kitchen.
